In depth

Verdict

There should be more to come from Charlie's Oscar how he switches to hurdles and steps up in trip. Point-to-point and bumper winner Who You For was second on his hurdling debut at Warwick while Wings Attract was placed at Market Rasen and Warwick in April. Until Winning won three times over fences last season and has already been placed over timber but we'll take ROMULUS DU DONJON to defy the penalty he picked up for winning at Market Rasen in May as he seems suited by sharp tracks and has the ground in his favour again.
